Bernier postgame quotes (Oct. 25)

(on the Devils’ three second-period goals…)
BERNIER: “Next thing we knew, it was 2-0, 3-0. In this league, it’s pretty hard when you don’t score that first goal or come back, especially against that type of team.”

(on getting the start in tonight’s game…)
BERNIER: “When I saw Quick with three shutouts, I really thought he [Terry Murray] was going to change his mind, but he didn’t so I have to thank him. He was confident about putting me back in the net tonight.”

(on the Devils’ first goal…)
BERNIER: “I thought I did a pretty good job of controlling my rebound. Unfortunately, it’s going to happen. With Anze, the rebound hit his chest and I lost it, I didn’t know where it was. I kind of tried to put my glove on it and my shoulder and it went in.”
